barn buying enjoys horses hours looks sales spend together
He's not one to go into the barn and spend hours with the horses - he enjoys the buying of the horses. He comes and looks at the horses with me and we go to the sales together there and at the races.

He's more of the laid-back type but when it gets to this grand scale and we're on the top in the horse racing world, he gets very excited and very much enjoys it.

You always hope to get a horse that just keeps improving. Each week, each race, he's done that.

I think this is a very deep, talented group.

I might be more excited if the gray horse won this time.

It barely broke the skin. He just took a little bit of hair off.

We'll take him over to the paddock and school him this afternoon with the fourth race if it isn't raining.

We knew we didn't have any chance, but it was a good experience. You could even say it's a bigger race now. I imagine there will be a little more attention on us this time around.

The only edge I know is I've been around turns twice and he hasn't.
everybody horse knows sent style wants
If a horse wants to be sent out there and be ridiculous, let him. We'll be close. Everybody knows what our style is.

If it were two turns, that would have been totally different. I know that he's a two-turn horse. He proved it today.

He shipped fine and everything is going wonderful.
